Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| C. B. Skovsted et al. 2015 | Tommotiid with scleritome comprising two distinctive sclerite types: symmetrical pyramidal S sclerites and high, laterally compressed, asymmetrical L sclerites. S sclerites with elongated, narrow lateral plates, strongly flexed toward posterior. Anterior plate subtriangular to slightly U-shaped. L sclerites high, irregular, extremely variable, but generally with strong lateral compression and tendency toward ontogenetic fusion.
Differing from Sunnaginia and Eccentrotheca by presence of bilaterally symmetrical sclerites. Differing from Paterimitra by triangular cross section and concave anterior plate in S sclerites, lack of differentiated S2 sclerites, highly irregular morphology of L sclerites, and absence of polygonal surface micro-ornament. |
